Recently booked a family trip to Thailand

Recently booked a family trip to Thailand. Debbie was great, having to contend with numerous changes to number of travellers, flights, hotels etc but nothing was too much trouble. Final booking and itinerary exactly what we wanted - thank you Debbie

Debbie was great and came back with great prices and different options. The first choices didn’t work so she then went away and got more options that then worked for us and met our budget. We have booked Florida and a cruise that we can all look forward to now. Definitely would use Debbie again in the future 🙌

Remembered

After my cruise choice being unavailable, Debbie remembered my previous request when looking for another customer. She quickly contacted me to inform me of new availability and confirmed my request working extra hours.

Shop Local!

We book all our trips through Debbie, the local service she provides is second to none. Generic high street branches of large tour operators and faceless internet companies cannot compare. Always on hand and happy to help with literally any query, including eleventh hour cancellation at 6am on departure day due to illness.
Always shop local, it’s worth it.

Debbie has great communication skills and was helpful with any of our enquiries. Subsequent changes we made were dealt with swiftly and we were kept up to date at all stages regarding immigration and local administrative matters.
Lovely personal touch by post before departure and delightful added surprise for our anniversary.

Thoroughly Recommend

We have booked our cruises through Debbie at Hays Travel and it has been a pleasure. They were tailored to exactly how we wanted. No matter how small a problem Debbie has been there to help always returning phone calls or emails promptly. Even when my Daughter was having travel queries on another matter Debbie was kind enough to advise. First class service!

Wonderful!

I've used Debbie for about 3 years now with a few cruises over that time too and wouldn't go anywhere else. I love the fact I can just throw dates and a budget to Debbie and leave her to work her magic. She will always find the best deal, suitable hotel and the best cabin's and of course prices she can. Nothing is too much trouble, thank you Debbie!

I would never book a holiday with anybody else!!
Debbie always goes above and beyond in her role. She is quick to respond to any query. She has helped, guided and advised us on a few holidays now and I trust her judgement implicitly.
The little touches she does are just first class and makes the experience of booking a holiday stress free!

Debbie was brilliant when we were booking our family holiday to Orlando - she is extremely knowledgable about the Disney and Universal Hotels and gave us all the information we needed.

Highly recommended!

I have booked a couple of holidays with Debbie and she has been amazing. She will go above and beyond to ensure she finds the right holiday and no request is ever too much hassle for her.
I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone consider booking a holiday. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and will try her absolute best to accommodate any requests. Our family holidays have been wonderful due to Debbie’s help in planning them. She is very thoughtful in her approach and cares greatly about her customer. Receiving a hamper of essential goodies on our return from holiday is just one example of her excellent customer service! If you are considering booking with Debbie you will not be disappointed!
